The GROWTH of the Muslims in the world, today is quite encouraging. Summarized from data Pew Research Center (Thursday, 2/4/2015), the number of followers of Islam increased very fast compared with other religions.
In fact, almost offset the number of Christians. According to this international survey institute, this trend will continue until 2050. With an estimated 2.8 billion Muslims in 2050 or 30% of the world's population will be Muslims. Although the data comes from the Muslim population in Europe. However, the predicted development of the number of Muslims from year to year becomes a happy news. How not to postpublic, 911 - marked by the collapse of the WTC Twin Towers in the United States in 2001 - many of the world's population are interested in studying Islam. As a religion that is directly derived by the Creator of the universe, of course Islam becomes a religion in accordance with human nature. Where the creator must know what his creation needs. Allah swt down Islam to the earth with a set of systems that will solve every problematika human life. From sleep to wake up. From birth to the world to death. All that stay studied with a set of tools to dig law (ijtihad). Allah Almighty says, "He is the one who sent down His servants the light verses (Qur'an) so He will bring you out of the darkness to the light. And verily Allah is the Most Merciful, Most Merciful to you. "(Surat al-Hadid: 9). Become a trend Proportional to the development of the number of Muslims in the world. Currently, Islamic law has also become a trend in the midst of world civilization. Call it, Muslims today are interested in memorizing and reviewing the Qur'an again. Various institutions were established to easily memorize the Qur'an and hadith. Similarly in meunasah-meunasah to the mosques in the city studded various Islamic studies. Arabic educational institutions are also no less targeting the villages and the capital. The Prophet Muhammad had said, "The best of you are those who study the Qur'an and teach it." The Qur'an becomes a daily reading of the people because the Qur'an is facilitated by Allah SWT to memorize. This convenience causes humans to love the Qur'an more and then put into practice in everyday life. The Qur'an, hadith and Arabic are the foundations of exploring Islamic laws in various aspects of life. With ijtihad, the Islamic Shari'a will be revived in this earth of Allah. The Shari'a will not last as long as the activity of ijtihad is not alive. For various factors of life development and the importance of the spread of Islamic Shariah to all corners of the world requires ijtihad. With ijtihad every new challenges and problems that plague the people of today can surely be solved easily. Without ijtihad, the Islamic Shari'a will be shackled by a blind taqlid that will make human life narrow and can lead to errors in religion. One factor of the decline of the early Muslims was caused by the closing of the door of ijtihad by its leaders, so that Muslims could no longer respond to the challenges of the time of the day. People can no longer distinguish where hadharah (civilization) and madaniyah (the result of civilization). In fact, the door of ijtihad itself will never be closed until the end of the day.
The closing of this door of ijtihad led to a distinctive madaniyah (the result of a special civilization) that brought a religious ideology outside of Islam that should have been discarded, instead taken. While general madaniyah should be taken (such as science and technology), even abandoned. On the other hand, Arabic is becoming abandoned and is no longer being studied. Among women, hijab syar'i become fashion trend of women. In the field of lifestyle, the method of healthy living ala Rasulullah saw and treatment of Thibbun Nabawi practiced by all religions. No less with herbal medicine from China. Sharia Economy In the economic field, the sharia economy becomes a promising and profitable business. Various sharia economic institutions were established. This economic system shift reminiscent of the market spreading in Madinah. Where, once the market in Madinah controlled by ribawi system, then switch to sharia economic system led by the Prophet Muhammad SAW. While in academia, Islamic law on economic and social politics has been the study of various think tanks in the world. In fact, the results of these assessments made reference to a country in the face of Muslims today and in the future. This development has made Islam a civilization that will rule the world in the future, together with China, India and the United States. Well, for the ustad, tengku, ulama, and activist da'wah Islamic political parties never to be bored to continue to teach and educate Muslims about their religion. In order for them to understand it properly. So that every challenge of the times that come forward, everything can be answered by Islam. In order for the growth of Muslims in the future to be a blessing for all the natural, not even a disaster. Allah Almighty says, "He does not make in this religion a narrowness for you." (Surat al-Hajj: 78). Wallahu a'lamu bish-shawwab.
